I think that it hasnt come up lately because it's one of those things that as&nbsp;it get closer to fruition,we just cant bear to think about. My question is what are the possibilities of Hines taking a significant paycut to be back with the team in 2010.?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I for one dont see the Rooney's overpaying for services of an aging and slowing Hines Ward though I believe he deserves it for all he's done and meant to the organization. I personally can't fathom the thoughts of Hines playing in another uniform and hope he can give us a hometown discount to play out his remaining years in a Steelers uniform.&nbsp; At the age of 34, I know he's winding down, but how much longer do you guys see him playing?&nbsp; Do you think he could handle settling for a lesser role to finish out his career in the "Burgh?"&nbsp; I for one will be sad when 86 hangs them up. He truly epitomizes all that is Steeler Football and is arguably&nbsp;the heart and soul of our football team.&nbsp; What do you guys think?</p> <p><img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f323/cancunbarbie/Steelers/hines_ward14.jpg" height="351" width="306" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&lt;!-- TOKEN_1233848675349_TOKEN --></p>
